Greetings, gang.
Some light fog which is quickly burning off followed by sunshine and warmer temperatures today. Right now it's 46 headed for a high in the low 70s today and tomorrow..
I finally got my wife's computer to update. Took some doing but I eventually found the solution. Once I got it started there were over 80 updates to be installed. I just restarted after those updates and now there are 26 more. Yeah, it's been a while since that computer has been used.
Yesterday I drove up to Estherville for a train show. Nice drive and a nice but small train show. I did find a couple of items I couldn't live without. On the way home I found some larger rocks by the side of the road so I stopped and loaded a half dozen in the trunk. I'm sure some passers by thought I was nuts but the price was right. I saw an article awhile back where in Minnesota they have an annual rock harvest and sell the rocks to local landscaping companies.
After the game yesterday (we won) I went to Menards and picked up even more rocks for the Backyard & Southern. Today's chores may include putting those rocks in appropriate places.
Today I need to avoid the news sites until this evening when there will be a replay of the F1 race. I recorded it but prefer to watch in HD. I can't record in HD so I wait for the replay. If I miss the replay I can always watch the recorded (but lower video quality) version.
JaBear - yep, it's a 1971 124 that I had for 22 years. Lots of fond memories. I'll dig around in the archives and see if I can find a larger image.
All stay safe.
